I will replace dryer sheets with a reusable alternative or use nothing at all.

Manufacturers want you to replace your phones every year. I will keep my phone for at least 3 years and make any necessary repairs or updates to keep it functioning as long as possible.

I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will use reusable containers when freezing food and opt for glass or metal when purchasing new containers.

I will stop buying water and instead use water from the tap or invest in a water filter if water quality is a concern.

I will replace my synthetic loofah with a natural loofah or wash cloth.

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes. 

I will avoid using disposables, such as balloons, table covers and single-use favors as well as disposable plates, cups and utensils for special occasions.

I will give experiences instead of things for gifts.
